Subject: Downloading all issues?

Is there any way to download all the issues without having to go to each individual one?
If all issues are screwed up in mobi and epub format, then there's a project for someone.

Subject: All Mobi's are Unformatted.

A sample of the text, go ahead, try and read this:

Subject: PDF's are OK for DOWNLOAD

(This review is just for the formatting issues noted)
Yes, the ePUB's seriously messed up, at least the first issues is.
However, the PDF seems ok. I downloaded it from the "Show all files" list, and at first when I tried to open it locally it had a file-corruption error, but then later it seemed to open fine.
Aldiko REader for Android will catalogue and read PDF's fine, so you can just move the files to your reader and import them like any normal ePUB file.
I might try regenerating the PDF to ePUB, but hardly any reason to do this if the PDF reads fine.

Subject: Great upload, bad conversions

It is fantastic that these are uploaded and the scan quality is good on the original texts. If one wants to try and read the kindle or epub conversions though, forget it--they appear to have been done with default Calibre or something and never checked, and are not readable.
